When we take a few measured steps to adjust current reality that momentum helps us to gain an advantage toward our collective goals.

Purpose is power. People working in the resonant field de Chardin called the noosphere collectively inform the future events, desires, and purpose of people who are Sacred Activists seeking to bring about constructive change in the social sector of government.

Today I want to give you a few ideas that will permanently change the existing power-over imbalance all of us struggle against in order to make a living and prepare for retirement.

Congressional practice must be changed to remove the corruption of big money influence, we all know that, but how do we make this a reality? We must go back to Citizens v Federal Election Commission (No. 08-205) as the mother model. Another lawsuit must be prepared and go through the system until it gets to the Supreme Court. This one sues Congressional Members en masse for failure to perform their lawful business because they are bankrolled by big money and are not worried about the needs of the people they serve. Investigators should be able to trace the money trail that proves this claim.

The practice of growing a slush fund used by leaders to convince members to vote the party line must be eliminated. A bribe is a bribe is a bribe. Law must be written to take all monetary influence out of politics. This habitual behaviour has been acceptable to all of our politicians. They must know it is not acceptable to us. Vote the merits of any bill before the Congressional Body.

Most of us were angry that the work days were limited in Congress, a trick used to avoid legislation debate and threaten the financial closure of government when the budget needed approval. The Republicans were especially good at taking long breaks which they claimed were needed for their own reelection purposes or to tend to the workload in their districts.

Here’s my favorite: during the election cycle if a candidate lies and it can be proven that he or she lied, or slandered their opponents they will face a very hefty fee. We must work to bring the truth back to politics. We must work to tell our politicians that we don’t want to hear more lies every election cycle.

Let’s look at England’s model for election cycles. We don’t need to put as much money or time into the election cycles of our government. Take away the need for candidates to lobby for and accept big money in return for future favors.

We simply cannot allow bills to be written by special interest groups. This is an obvious problem and one that is widely known of and yet it continues because Congresspeople say they aren’t expert enough to write the bills themselves. There are other cures to this problem. Citizens can send a message that those who have been sitting members of Congress must now use a neutral source and provide proof of this before any future bill can be entered in the docket.

Perhaps I am most furious that much of our public parkland is going to shrink because oil and gas companies lobbied and won the right to drill and frack for profit. So this brings me to my last suggestion of an area that citizens can push back against politicians. No more influence peddling. Period. It has to stop. Who is taking care of the interests of those who live where disasters occurred because legislation didn’t vote for the safety and concern of the citizens living in these areas.

Just recently the Canada pipeline project leaked or broke, and the aquifer is endangered. The Native Peoples warned politicians it would happen. Let’s see a law suit against our government because of carelessness and causation effects that may endanger the health of the people in the region.

I don’t know if it is possible to sue the government. If it isn’t yet a law that citizens can bring just cases against the government it should be created. Maybe that is number one on our list of things to do to protect the people of our country from greedy corporations who currently have our politicians in their pockets.

Well, it’s a thought. I’m sure you have many thoughts yourself. The truth of my reality is that I am not willing to think smaller than I used to because I trusted the system to eventually work for me. It doesn’t. It won’t until we start chipping away at the behemoths. I’ve got my little pick ax in my tool box. I encourage you to get one too and think about your purpose in the face of all the corruption we see in America. Then put your thoughts out in the world and see who is in agreement with you.

If you are already associated with a group that you want me to list here, please send me the contact information and I will check each group out. I’m willing to act as a clearing house to bring people to your attention in hope and in purpose to bring about change in the social sectors of life.

We are one when we act as one heart, one spirit and utilize the noosphere with our positive purpose for life ever after. In Oneness, Rev. Cassandra

This is a provocative title and common sense says that the world cannot end violence in one year. There is another way to look at this title. We can reduce our violent acts every day until it becomes an established pattern. When we act nonviolently, we cocreate the energy to expand nonviolence around the world.

My friends know that I see the universe as one big energy field that is actually conscious. That’s because I feel the presence of a modern God that is this conscious energy field. I’m not alone in this crazy thought.

Before me Fr. Pierre Tielhard de Chardin contemplated the “noosphere”, the thinking energy field around earth. This field is so powerfully conscious because we are all telling it what to create by our thoughts, words and deeds. Another philosopher who was on this similar wavelength was Baruch Spinoza. He held a pantheistic worldview. Pantheism speaks to the belief that god is in everything at its core. Oh, the word pantheist was coined in 1705 by J. Toland so this is not a new concept, dear hearts.

William James introduced us to trans-personal streams of consciousness. These thoughts also influence the great Unified Field of Consciousness. When people speak of Oneness, they are talking about our relationships within this content. I believe that all conscious thoughts inform this field. We create our reality. It’s a good thing if we are aware that we do it. If we are unaware? Uh-Oh. So on to my point about affecting violence around the world.

There are already many organizations and spiritual or religious denominations who practice nonviolence and/or loving kindness. The Quakers stand for nonviolence, many Buddhist teachers address the reality of loving kindness and nonviolence, many young Christians work to save the earth’s resources, Indigenous peoples around the world are aware that they are one with their surroundings. Wonderful way-showers such as Buckminster Fuller, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Ervin Laszlo, and Bruce Lipton are all speaking of how we can cocreate in this world. Think about it for yourself and ask if you are meant to be a cocreator for a better world.

What is it do you think that has encouraged so many people, professionals and laypeople, to think that they can help change the world from the one we live in today? I agree with Barbara Marx Hubbard that mankind is in an accelerated evolutionary cycle. I believe it is humanity’s destiny to have a big leap in consciousness during the 21st century! I wrote about this in my book because if we reach critical mass it may take another big bang to reset humanity’s existence. Just saying…it’s time to look deeply into our hearts and do what we can to change all of the social systems that are corrupt and broken.

I have two things left to say:

Be aware of your environment and don’t kill anything that shares your space such as flies, gnats, snails, hornets, bees, chiggers, and ants. Start by reminding yourself that all living things are part of God, especially think this when you are annoyed by the grasshoppers or we suddenly have a plague of locusts overhead!

Gently retrain yourself, emotionally speaking, to react slowly to anyone or thing that causes you to feel angry, inferior, or afraid. This gives you more time to consider why this experience has shown up for you. There is always a reason, a lesson, an opportunity for us to let go of our defenses. These defenses are what stimulate violence.

If you like this little article share it with friends. Make a pledge to be a nonviolent person, or do something in your group that brings this question up for conversation. Can we become a nonviolent society. The answer is yes. It will take time but not as much as you may think.

We must also address the issues of our governments and get them with the program. That is another story. There is nothing that cannot be achieved by humans who have collectively joined together with a purpose.

May you sleep easy tonight knowing that we really can make a difference in this world. Maybe we won’t have peace in 2018 but at least we have the tools to become more thoughtful and loving humans.

Have you ever heard someone speak in a language they were not born into? I ask because there are many languages that are so lyrical and stunningly moving that it takes your breath away for a moment. English and German, for instance, sound matter of fact when spoken. Spanish and French are more lyrical. I noticed this recently while watching a subtitled documentary about Ismael Diadie’ Haidara’s effort to protect an ancient library written by the elders of his family over a 500 year span.

Usually I avoid subtitles because I read much slower now than when I used to go to the foreign film theaters regularly. While watching this documentary about one man’s effort to protect the diaries of his family, I heard his Soul speaking to me sincerely. Ismael and his fathers fathers saw themselves living in increasingly violent eras. They decided to hide the ancient library their family cherished to keep it safe because each time a new people or religion came through their land, they would destroy the historical records and plunder the riches. In 2012 an ally of Al Qaeda raided to close for the safety of the ancient library and Ismael began to plot his plan to save them all.

It was a moving story, and I was able to witness the elegance of this quiet man as he struggled to keep his vow to his ancestors. Ismael is a Jew who is descended paternally from Roderique the Goth, a Christian who ruled Spain at the time the Arabs settled there. Others of this family line married with leaders in the region of Songhai making him a mix of Spanish, Arab and African lineages. Perhaps this explains to us why he is so determined to share the library, to preserve it. (*)

The religious traditions of his ancestors are now uneasy with one another’s societies and the history recorded in the 12,000+ manuscripts tell of a different time when there was peace in the region. His story is a glimpse of living history and a voice that calms my heart like sitting next to a river’s bank. We can cocreate a future world of peace. If it existed once, it can exist again because there is a pattern, an energetic pattern of people coexisting together even when war is on the horizon. Let us honor one another and, especially our differences, if they do no harm.

Now we get to your voice, your song, your belief, and your family. Share with your friends your ethnic diversity, and your religious, spiritual or agnostic approach to living in this world. Find the likenesses and energize them. Find a way to harmonize with others in your community, perhaps with a beneficial project. Be the voice of the river whose waters have traveled around the world. If you are guided as was Mahmud Ka’ti, the famous Timbuktu chronicler and Ismael’s relative whose ancient library was the subject of the documentary; look into your heart. There you will find your song. It is going to be a beautiful way to unlock your heart in order for you to see yourself in others and them in you.

It has never been more true that “We”not “Me” will survive and thrive in the 21st century.

Quantum physics is now proving that energy is the basic builder of the universe. In my book I took care to use samples of how they managed to turn on the prophetic light to expose a collective and modern version of God. Of course, hard science is still resisting but that is to be expected. I think of it as the old King being deposed and witnessing it is never pleasant. Nor do you want to get in the way of the losing opponent. However, we have a new opportunity to regard the Universal Field of Resonant Energy, that which is the source of all creation.

Who then is the Creator? All conscious species create their reality to some degree. Humans have a capacity to create sophisticated systems, whereas bees create honey and teach us about collective living, each bee with a purpose to serve the greater whole. You can probably name 5 more creator examples with ease because the evidence is here and we are seeing it with new eyes; those of conscious cocreators. If you are paying attention you understand that society is in the process of sacred cocreation, and as in the example of the Kings, it feels safer to get out-of-the-way. I hope you resist that temptation though.

In my life I find that the traditional God is too small a fit for the 21st century, and the modern version of God is such a stretch for us to accept that it is also difficult to feel comfortable with what our senses, eyes, and spiritual intuition want to reveal. Add to that the need for us to become Sacred Activists in order to break down and rebuild the social systems that humans created during the formation of the global countries and we can understand why it is easier to stay in place even when we suffer. The “We” will survive only if we thoughtfully come together to cocreate a shared power in the world, and let go of the power over model of our current and past leaders.

If you are reading this you are likely to be working with others, or attempting to get others to join you in such a way as to bless us all eventually. It is going to take time, so please do not rush your efforts. It is also a matter of ego adjustment. Just saying. I have never been in a group where egos didn’t butt heads — sorry for the pun. As your group is expanding its vision it will be rough at times, so stay focused on the goal.

James O’Dea kindly allowed me to use excerpts from his book ” The Conscious Activist” in a book I am writing for sacred activists who like to use affirmations to refresh themselves when they get into an emotional slump. Any type of activism is going to bring temporary burnout. It will also bring tremendous satisfaction when you see the results of your effort. So let’s continue with this spiritual share. (*)

All of us could use the experience of working with a group of people in which equal power is guaranteed. The collective field will rise in strength when two or more people share the same desires to create something together. And the process of cocreating with your group will give you insight to the tremendous effort it takes to manifest a creation during these difficult days. I don’t use the word difficult lightly. Let me show you a possible ‘to do’ list and contemplate for a moment how much energy it will take to manifest constructive change. You do not have be to afraid to get involved because there are hundreds of thousands of us who long for change in the world. We can nudge The Field to cocreate change and as it builds momentum, we will realize just how much we have changed personally. Sacred Activism is a win-win my friends.

What This World Needs Now Is Love:

Take personal relationships out from under government jurisdiction. Change the laws on the books if they discriminate in any way against a person’s right to choose how they will identify themselves to others in our collective community. Heterosexuality is only one type of relationship. We must allow the evolution of relationships to occur for our future, enlightened society.

Protect humans from all abuse by other humans. This alone could take another 1,000 years to succeed so we must begin if we haven’t already. There are subcategories galore in this arena. How many ways can you think of that we hurt other humans? Until we have absolute sanctity for each human to be safe from discrimination, murder, unlawful imprisonment, sexual torture such as genital mutilation, and other very serious acts that currently occur wherever there is not equality of person-hood, we must begin to disavow evils perpetrated by individuals and groups that want to keep their power over others.

Reform is necessary in all government agencies. You know this. I know this. They know this, but they want to keep the corruption in place in order to have supremacy over those who have less power. I don’t know if Power is the result of corruption, or if it should be said the other way around. Certainly there is abuse in both social systems. Sadly, it is women and children who suffer under these types of social norms. Perhaps that is an area that you would like to see changed?

In my first book I mentioned abuse of power and gave several examples: religious domination, and corporations having power as a ‘person’ are only two of many that you can create systemic change within and we will all benefit; you will find more in the chapter named Mistakes are New Horizons.

I do hope that you will go to my amazon.com site and see if you get a resonant “yes” to get a copy for yourself. I share how my conscious self expanded and brought me to the stage where Sacred Activism became one of my top passions. Click on this link if you would like to know more about me and the subject of conscious evolution.

Just as the Conscious Creator started its expansion with everything that we can see, and we wait to see more of what will be “thought” into form, so too, the natural order changes over time. This cycle is especially apparent in the beginning of the 21st century. We are witnessing the expression of the thoughts of our elders, back to the beginning of our government, which has created all of our social systems. This may be an overstatement, but for my spiritual share of the day I am tempted to say we are witnessing the creation from the thoughts of the infamous 1% of the global rich. Yet, that is only part of how we got to where we find ourselves now — waiting for the end of the world.

Let’s ease into the expansion of the natural order in Part 2. Love and hate have been added to the mix in order to energize change, but hate is usually the trigger. Oh, let’s not forget greed. Maybe that should be #1. If I were creating a new world I would start with love, and I am sure you would too, but because we have come to this ‘here and now’ we have to look at the truth: fear is what continues to keep us from expanding into the reality of love. The reality of love is that we are all whole. We can all cocreate for the greater good. The pain and suffering are done with because we have collectively chosen to recreate our world in a way that honors our Conscious Creator. Feel free to use another word if the word Creator annoys you. It may be hard to believe that we have reached this point, but if you look at past generations did you ever see mention of man being as powerful as God?

The phrase “Conscious Creator” is a description of our modern God. The old Gods/Goddesses of past millennia are the models which humanity used to cocreate what we see around us now. It is not that God said, “go out and poison the air with mechanical emissions”; rather, humans began to evolve into clever creators who wanted jobs to be less difficult. You know the story.

Many humans have craved a deeper relationship with their God. We have seen cycles come and go with respect to our relationship with God and God’s relationship with the faithful. We have seen various interpretations of God from the peoples of the world. We have seen the Devil worshiped as God. Rarely do we see humans thinking of themselves as aspects of God in the flesh, although the 21st century has ushered in an evolutionary cocreatorship with God, and Sacred Science, or Spiritual Science if you prefer, is proof that many humans are beginning to expand their understanding of the immensity of Life, and therefore of God.

So let’s expand our “natural order” list from Part 2. We have every chance to evolve ourselves during the next hundred years into a species that lives in harmony with all living things. We might create a relationship with God that is flexible in its interpretation of what God expects from us and what we need from the Conscious Creator God in order to be at peace with one another.

Women rise up and refuse to allow violence in their lives. Laws are changed, equality of the races is established and enforced, equity for women who work is accomplished, and human rights prevail for the good of all.

Men become cocreators with women and what they accomplish is beneficial for the good of all. The tendencies to climb over someone to get to the top no longer exists since equality and social equity have taken hold. Men begin to express themselves as whole beings who are not stuck in the old paradigms.

Children are so inspired by their parents that they want to engage society in a positive way. They find that society respects everyone who works doing something they enjoy. Money is not the only means of earning a living for this generation. We are moving out among the stars, and education is free. Creative problem solving becomes a goal to turn around the issues of the past in order for there to be true happiness on this planet.

You see where I am going with this train of thought. In the past we thought to small, even though it is true that we invented new things, new systems, and more it is also true that for the most part humanity was miserable. War and Starvation, Disease and Pollution made it impossible to live a high quality of life requiring less to survive. This last should be our goal for the century.

We would of necessity have to undo as much of the damage as has been done and this is not going to be done overnight, but I am excited by the change in progress that is part of the revolutionary evolution of humanity. We are not going to tip toe around the fact that we have contributed to the suffering on this planet. My dress was made in India. Your car has high carbon emissions. The food we eat has been tampered with in order to produce more product and provide more wealth.

Last night I was dreaming in cycles. Some of the dreams made me restless. I sensed that I had to commit to a change in my perception about my relationship with all living things. I awoke with a smile on my face because I heard clearly a voice (not mine) that said, “God does love you.”. Since I know myself as an energy being existing within the universal energy field of resonance that is all inclusive, this gift of my Super-conscious Mind (My Essential of Universal Self) inspired me to get up and take time to share these thoughts with you.

God loves you. It can be whatever version of God that you want. It does not limit you. You can be a criminal or a social activist. The trick is that you have to choose and make a commitment to who you are becoming. Time is coming perilously close to extinction. We know this because the people at the top of our government are courting disaster. We must stop politics as usual. You know this and I know this. They know it too which is why they are so nervous and desperately trying to lock us all in to the old system in which they thrive.

I guess they think we are uninformed, or stupid. Silly egos. They have underestimated our intention to cocreate social systems that serve the people. Isn’t it true that government is supposed to serve the people? It doesn’t do that anymore. I’m even thinking of not paying taxes this year as a civil disobedience protest. Anyone else out there willing to take the risk?

Make your commitment as soon as you are clear and know what your truth is when it comes to your part in the evolutionary shift for the good of our planet.

With love and deep respect for who you are and who you are going to choose to become. The powerful Presence of God, the modern one or the old one will have to duke it out someday because there isn’t room for a jealous god and a god of goodwill. I’m betting on the god of goodwill.

That natural order is creative, resonant with social justice and spiritual oneness. You may think that you are less than the best that you can be, but that is illusion. You are always working, living, loving, and expressing yourself at the highest energetic level of reality. Don’t believe that you are failing, or allow yourself to measure yourself against someone else’s “success”. There is a higher truth to reflect upon when we are discussing the universal energy field. If you believe that any misstep you make takes you off the path to perfection you are missing the mark. There is no such thing as failure because you are always, and I do mean always, doing the best that you can. You are creatively seeking solutions to situations. You may try something and it does not bring about the desired result but that does not make you a failure. Energy itself is neutral. It does not keep count. You can not fail nor can you succeed, you can only advance to your next level of conscious reality, or stay where you are until you realize only you give you permission to expand your reality.

If you feed the negative energy that is dominant at this time in the world, in other words your thoughts are constantly agitated, your field of conscious resonance will cocreate more fear for you to reflect upon because your path is leading you to success: you will eventually understand that you are in charge of what you create, and you will stop living in pain, and self-inflicted suffering. This is not the same as failing, however. Change your perception and you see that it is necessary for us to make commitments to keep moving forward and grow out of the old order of the male dominated society.

Sorry, boys. It is time to learn that you have been fighting the natural order, and that is why you have cocreated such suffering in our world.

Let me share with you the natural order of the universe, or at least a part of it with you now:

Females give birth to men, therefore in the natural hierarchy females are the conscious co creators of humanity. That’s a more important job than the CEO of a corporation, or the President of the United States. Women should always be respected for their role in the world, and treated with dignity.

Men have attributes that are necessary to build and repair everything. This is a very important job. It is a job that requires of them to be the guardians of “the good way” by which all people are able to live in peace and have enough. It isn’t that women aren’t meant to help, because they are part of the circle of life and of course they would help cocreate the social systems we need. But men have a tendency to be problem solvers and that is what we need now.

Each generation is meant to take care of the environment, and all living things. They are the guardians of the living. Without them we will face extinction. Their job is perhaps the most important of all. It is definitely challenging.
